Scissors In A Backpack? Book Her, Danno

POSTED: 7:01 pm EST December 11, 2004
PHILADELPHIA -- Having a pair of scissors in her backpack at school got a 10-year-old girl into a lot of trouble.

The child was handcuffed and taken to a Philadelphia police station when the 8-inch shears were discovered. They were found during a search of students' belongings after a teacher reported some items missing from her desk.

School district officials said the fourth-grader didn't threaten anyone, but she did violate a policy that considers scissors to be potential weapons. They said they were following state law by calling police.

The police said school authorities were also right to bring her to the police station, though she was soon released. The girl's mother said the treatment was too harsh.

Well duh.

The problem is everyone is so intent on following standard procedure. For an incident like this it is procedure to call the police, but that is fucking retard because it's a 10 year old girl. I just don't understand why they couldn't have shown at least a little bit of initiative.

According to the article they were 8 inch shears.

Why would they search all the kids if something from the teashers desk is missing?
